Prototype Development

A prototype is an elementary working model of a new product or an information system that tests the feasibility of idea or invention. The prototype is used to showcase the idea to a potential investor and/or to receive feedback for developing the final product from a user

A prototype is used to determine

• Design : A design of a product not only enhances the chance of market acceptability; it further distinguishes the product from similar product
• Features : The prototype further helps in determining features to be incorporated into the final product
• Interaction : The prototype also determines the interaction of the component that makes the system that may be tuned to make the system efficient and robust
• Functionality : Functionality of individual parts as well as of whole assembly can be identified easily to obviate error in final product

Steps of Prototyping:

• Idea : Establishing aim for the Project
• Design : CAD modelling and Technical Drawings
• Fabrication and Testing
